About this artwork
Two parallel paths are visible: on the right, a corridor with a classical statue, symbol of history and culture. Later two men of the early 1900s, represented with transparent lower limbs, a symbol of progressive impoverishment. On the left, an incomplete scale that rises, with 3 steps instead of 6, because after thousands of years of history man is still behind in evolution. They are 3 because 3 is the number of perfection, but today there is only…
perfect technology (the iPad). The open sea and the lifeboat symbolize the uncertainty of the future. The clock has no hands because the scene takes place in the non-time. Note an optical effect: the bases of the door jambs on the right are not on the same perspective plane. With it the artist wants to say that our past and our present coexist on the same plane, like the scene of the painting, which, while representing different temporalities, coexists on a three-dimensional canvas and in a single square area.
